Elaine and Philip Marco were ‘together until the very end’, their family said in a statement.
Tributes have been paid to two “much-loved” grandparents who died after driving into a flooded area in Liverpool just days before their 54th wedding anniversary.
Elaine Marco, 75, and Philip Marco, 77, were found inside a black Mercedes on Queens Drive in Mossley Hill on Saturday at about 9.20pm and were taken to hospital where they were pronounced dead. In a statement the couple’s family said the “only comfort” was that they were together to the very end.“We are devastated and heartbroken by the sudden loss of Elaine and Philip Marco,” a family statement said.“The family are arriving overseas from America and Australia to mourn their loss.
“They were due to celebrate their 54th wedding anniversary next week and our only comfort is knowing that they were together to the very end.”A Liverpool City Council spokesman said their thoughts were with the family after the “tragic” incident. A spokesman for United Utilities, which supplies water to the area, said there were “no issues” with their assets there.
